Hello,
After reading the paper "Color Management in Mac OSX" I finally got
the idea behind the ColorSync filters. So far so good. Alas when I
apply (in Preview) a filer for the Epson 2200 EnhancedMatte@2880 with
intent relative, and the same setting in PS7 (black point compensation
on), the respective soft proofs didn't match!. Certainly not by much
but real.
Digital color measure reports:
PS7:
R: 232,102
G: 147,2245
B: 123,5102
Preview:
R: 211,6122
G: 139,6122
B: 116,1225
The source is an untagged RGB file. Who's right?
Also, when using Preview from PS before sending to print, when I use a
tagged or untagged source and any of the Epson profiles, Preview shows
the colors completely off (kind of magenta invasion). This remember me
my early days with the Epson 2200 (under Windows) when I thought the
preview of the Epson driver has any value beyond showing merely where
on the page the image is going to be printed. But this time the warning
is real! you're bounded to disaster if you hit the print button.
This behavior disappears when I use profiles with names like
EP2200AMPEPNLHQST.ICM but can't find the media for which they are
intended. Their space is CMYK which drive me crazy. Didn't the ink-jet
raster printers be better "profiled" (characterized) as RGB devices?
It seems there are a lot of chapters of "color management" I missed...
Thanks,
